My work as a Gnostic Priest is to expose the methods used to achieve Christian Gnostic Transcendence, with methods that were used in by the first Gnostic Christians. This involves learning about complex dualities and a method of study that becomes an underlying philosophy, the study of the Monad. I am the first scholar to divulge this secret in modern times. My purpose in writing this informal article is to explain what in fact can be shown. I qualify Ophites, Sethians, Naassenes, and Valentinians generally as Sethians, based upon the fact they studied scrïpture like the Gnostic Gospels which are based upon forms of Sethianism. Seth was the third child of Adam. The heresiologist Hippolytus, documents what he knows or thinks about Sethians in his "Against All Heresies.'' Much of what he said is wrong. What most people know about Sethian Gnosticism is wrong. (See; "Gnostic Secrets of the Naassenes,'' by Gaffney.)

Irenaeus, Eusebius, and Tertullian all fail to disclose real information about Gnostics. Now that Gnostic scrïpture can be studied, we can see they had no idea how the Sethian idea of the Monad worked. They talk about it, but even modern scholars have missed the significance. One important point is that the study of the Monad is a lot older than Christianity.

Because scholars are now learning a number of things from these written works, the first thing that becomes apparent is mainstream Christianity from its earliest roots has tried to hide, and lie about the nature of Christian Gnosticism. My work is the first to explain the nature of the study of the Monad, which I show prima facie, as a twin system to the Chinese philosophy of the Tai Chi. The Sethians knew how to use this method, making Jesus the Monad, or source of Chi, (energy). This is a method of study known to Pythagoreans, and Chinese in the Sixth c. B.C. Until I exposed it, nobody knew how this system worked and that the Christian method is based upon the Oriental, and Pythagorean method.

The earliest Sethians were the core of the Alexandrian Church, started by Mark, and Peter, who appointed Pantaenus and others to teach Christianity. This means from around the year 45 C.E. Christian Gnosticism was being written down by people following Pantaenus, like Clement, and some of Jesus' disciples like Baranbus, Mark's uncle, and Basilides who was given special teaching by Matthias. Matthias, is said to have replaced Judas Iscariot, as part of the twelve Apostles. Alexandria became the center for Sethian Gnosticism, and the Apostolic lineage of its teaching is written in its library made of the Nag Hammadi Library, and the Bruce, Berlin, and other Codices containing 'Sethian' works.

The Sethian system and Pythagorean system are very much alike, but there are some minor differences in the Tai Chi system, one being that the Sethians and Pythagoreans believed Wisdom to be Sophia, or feminine in nature. The Tai Chi system is an 8 unit or type system, while the Sethian Monadology is a ten unit system. The Tai Chi is well known for the trigrams being a binary system. It is not my intention to teach this system in this document, but to declare the truth that this system is authentic, and related to the Tai Chi.

There are three documents available that can be seen as Christian scrïpture, based upon the knowledge of the Tai Chi. Martin Palmer's book, ''The Jesus Sutras,'' reveal three separate scrïptures. These documents are thought to have been written from western Christian sources which would include Tatian, Justin Martyr, Marcion, and others who knew from the teachings of Basilides that the Sethian Monadology was in fact the Tai Chi, adopted first by Pythagoreans, and altered to fit Hellenistic terminology.

The Monad was studied by Hermetics, Zoroastrians, Jewish scholars like Philo of Alexandria, and by the Fourth Century was completely outlawed by the Church. The term came into modern lexicons via the scientific work of Gottfried Leibniz, who was a good friend of Benjamin Franklin. Leibniz' work is void of any reference to the Monad as Spirit. However this is the essence of the Sethian works. Liebniz and Franklin would have been burned at the stake for suggesting the Monad as Spirit.

Modern Biblical scholars, who can grasp the concept of the study of the Monad in both pre-Christian, and post crucifixion eras, will quickly see that Christianity actually began when the followers of John the Baptist, and a few others adopted Jesus, as the Monad. This means they adopted Jesus as the source of energy called the Word. This knowledge leads to salvation and enlightenment. This is the Truth about Sethian Gnosticism. Christian 'Chi' is in fact Jesus Wisdom, Holy Spirit, or Word.

The 'Word' is in the Bible, (New Testament) but the Gnostic source of Jesus Wisdom is the "Gospel of Thomas," and the Gnostic Gospels, and other Sethian works, like "The Pistis Sophia,'' and "A Valentinian Exposition." All of them become relevant to understanding the process of Gnosis. But the use of the method of the Monad was known and used since Pythagoras. At the time of Jesus it was being used by the followers of John the Baptist, like Simon Magus, Dositheos, the Apostle Philip, John and therefore all of the Apostles.

What is not in the Bible, are the methods of learning the Monad.

The Taoist Trinity, states that Man, is the same as heaven and earth. What this means in the classical Chinese philosophical sense is that the Mind, and the Heaven are the same in regard to "Wu Chi," or the great void, and the human mind as in 'Mu shin.' (empty mind) In the Sethian view, Jesus is Silence, which is to put the nature of the void in a form that can be heard.

In other words the mind and universe both use the process presented by a void, or 'kun.' This is not a lot different from the B.F. Skinner behaviorist theory of the 'blank slate,' in regard to developing mental abilities in newborns.

The energy and concentration of the energy, Word/Chi (ki), is directed at filling the void. This is a specific process that is regarded as natural for both thought and how things take form and order in the physical universe. This is how the epistemology, or theory of learning and knowledge, is applied in the study of the Tai Chi. This is why and how the theory is applied to both mental thought and the physical action. The system virtually maps action applied to knowledge or ignorance.

The great void, Wu Chi, or Jesus as Silence, is only the first part of a much larger structure in the study of the Ba Gua (eight trigrams) or the different energies that can be seen to 'fill' the Silence, kun, or void. The void can be seen in the processes of the human body, mind, or a seed to a tree. Everything can be seen as having a specific ordering or sequencing value according to the general form of the Tai Chi. This concept is essential to grasp in the classical study of Chinese philosophy. It is also essential learning if you want to understand classical Christian Gnosticism.

Specific meanings are applied in Gnostic scrïpture to the terms Soul, Spirit, Knowledge, Body, Truth, Love, Hope, Faith, and others. This is the same in the study of the Tai Chi, certain words connote special meanings for those who understand the basics of the underlying philosophy of the Monad, or One. What comes out of the void, is both good and evil, male and female, yin and yang, badda and bing. The study of the Sethian Monadology enabled people to comprehend how to deal with the complex dualities in real life. Modern exploration is wide open to possibilities.

Those that study and understand how to apply the Tai Chi, don't have an interrupted history, like Sethians. I would point out that I myself am a long time practitioner of Isshinryu Karate, which is based upon the Tai Chi.

It is through this study that I can verify the Sethian Monadology is a twin system to the Tai Chi. I can demonstrate how the Tai Chi is used in a fight, and I can introduce you to a few thousand friends who can look at me do it, and understand exactly how what happens is applied to the Tai Chi paradigm. It is complex and hard to comprehend at first. Some never 'get it.' Those that do can become what Paul in Corinthians called 'gifted.'

Some karate masters have been thought to have reached a level of enlightenment we call Shingatai. Shingatai is not unlike Satori. They are called Meijin. Here is a descrïption of the Sethian idea of Enlightenment....

Enlightenment: Refers to a state of being; described in Chinese/Oriental classics that reflects the same kinds of mental changes, 'awareness,' or 'Satroi' as in Gnosis. ''The Enlightenment refers to a movement in philosophy that advocated the untrammeled use of reason to establish truth. The movement challenged traditional authority, doctrine, and values. Emphasis was placed on the empirical method employed by the sciences.'' (''The Five Gospels,'' by Funk, Hoover, Harrier-Collins, 1993, p. 544.) ''For scientific knowledge is necessary both for the training of the soul and for gravity of conduct; making the faithful more active and keen observers of things. For as there is no believing without elementary instruction, so neither is there comprehension without science.'' (Quote from Theodotus, See; Kirby, Criddle collections.)

Criddle.http://neonostalgia.com/xtian/Extracts_from_Theodotus.htm

The Sethian method can be determined by understanding the many terms used in Sethian scrïpture that you cannot find in the standard Biblical Dictionaries. I make available a Glossary for the students of Sethian scrïpture available in the Gospel of Thomas, yahoo discussion group. Its about 65 pages now, and a long download for older systems.

There are not too many modern "Sethian Christians,'' but there are a lot of people that understand the Tai Chi. Almost every Oriental person I have spoken to in the past few years knows something about the Tai Chi, and the study of the eight Trigrams, called Ba Gua. Like the Sethians, the Orientals sometimes use the term Wisdom to mean Chi.

The Tai Chi, becomes religion when the energy of what fills the great void becomes a perception of God. In the case of the Sethians, that energy is the Wisdom of Jesus as the Monad, which is something modern Evangelicals and the Catholic Church have determined is heretical. They have no capacity to teach this system to anyone. They have tried to destroy this learning. The fact is the method makes the Gnostic a free agent to God, as far as salvation, and redemption. The Gnostic becomes his own Church.

The Christian Gnostic perception of God, is the Word, and not some kind of sentient being with the capacity to reek havoc on mankind. For the Gnostic the power of God is in Knowledge of how Jesus as the Monad, becomes the Word, and the Gnostic also becomes the Word, in thought and deed. This is known as the "living resurrection,'' and part of the knowledge needed to complete the Gnostic Bridal Chamber Sacrament.

The truth about Gnostic Sacraments and secret knowledge is that they do exist, but not as secrets anymore. Like Satori, Christian Gnostic transcendence or enlightenment is possible, because this kind of transcendence has been realized and in some cases documented. In regard to the meaning of Truth, Basilides, Clement, Heracleon, and Theodotus all knew that Truth, in the Gnostic sense meant Church. Truth is part of the Sacred Tetrad, which is qualified in "A Valentinian Exposition."

The Gnostic sacraments of the Eucharist, Baptism, Redemption, Salvation, the Chrism, and the Bridal Chamber, become very clear when you can utilize the underlying philosophy of the Monad as a model to that philosophy. Like the martial artist who becomes his 'artform', the Sethian Christian transforms himself with the same model, with some uniqueness common to the Sethian beliefs. The Sethians learned to wear the Soul like a Garment. This means very much the same thing as the martial artist who becomes the energy of his 'artform' which has become part of his very being.

The following passage describes how Solomon learned to wear the Word of God, or Monad like a Garment. It is from an untitled text in the Bruce Codex. The author's implication is that Jesus transcended much the way Solomon was thought to have... I have capitalized words relevant to Gnostic Monadic sets found inother related scrïpture. This is to emphasize their specific meaning to the Gnostic process.

"Because of this work, the Father of the All (Pleroma), the indescribable One ', sent a Crown (treasure) in which is the name of the All (Pleroma.) ', whether endless, or unutterable, or incomprehensible, or imperishable, or unknowable, or still, or all-powered, or indivisible. This is the Crown of which it is written: "It was given to Solomon on the day of the joy of his heart." The first Monad furthermore sent him an ineffable Garment ' which was all Light and all Life and all Resurrection, and all Love and all Hope and all Faith and all Wisdom, and all Gnosis, and all Truth, and all Peace, and all-visible ', and all-mother, and all-mystery, and all-source (Root), and all-perfect, and all invisible, and all unknowable, and all endless, and all unutterable, and all Deep, and all incomprehensible, and all Pleroma, and all Silence, and all unmoved, and all unbegotten, and all still, and ) all Monad, and all ennead, and all dodecad (12), and all ogdoad, and all decad, and all hebdomad, and all hexad, and all pentad, and all tetrad, and all triad, and all dyad, and all Monad.

And the All is in it, and also all found themselves ' in it, and knew themselves in it. And it (the Monad) gave Light to them all with its ineffable Light. Myriads upon myriads of powers were given to it, so that at one (and the same) time it should establish the All. It gathered its Garments and made them into the form of a veil which surrounded it on all sides. And it poured itself over them all, it raised them all. And it divided them all according to rank and according to ordinance and according to forethought."

The Garment the Martial Artist wears as his 'artform' are the basic eight genus skills of punching, kicking, grabbing, squeezing/choking, throwing, joint locks, groundwork, and counters. From these eight types or units, thousands of separate techniques can be connected. These eight skills come from the tetrad of punching, kicking, grappling, and counters. The tetrad comes from the dualities of offense and defense, hard and soft, boxing skills, and grappling skills. These come from the knowledge of fighting that fills the void in a fight.

The above Sethian passage tells the Gnostic to wear the skills of Resurection, Love, Hope, Faith, Peace, etc., the skills of the Garment, and thus become the Word. All Sethian Monadic sets start with Word, and end with Knowledge, or Gnosis. That is what makes them Sethian. Word, punching, kicking, grabbing, squeezing/choking, throwing, joint locks, groundwork, counters, and Knowledge, make me a Sethian Christian Karate-ka. Easy huh?

Sethian scrïpture can meet the design of what was required generally speaking to what qualifications were used to design the contents of the New Testament. Generally the texts have to be shown to have been used for worship. The works had to be affirmed as written by an Apostle or affirmed by an Apostle. And the last requirement to become canonized as Christian scrïpture is the text has to be shown to have had power in the lives of those who have read and used it. (Please feel free to research the requirements and Sethian scrïpture, and rules of canonization to judge for yourself.)

I submit the Gnostic Gospels of Thomas, Mary, Phillip, and the other Sethian scrïpture meet those requirements without any hitch, prima facie. When Jesus became the Monad, Christianity was born, because the study of the Monad was essential to knowing the method of teaching the Wisdom Jesus taught his followers. It was essential to the knowledge of pre-Christian Jewish Gnostics. The study of the Monad was part of the Wisdom of John the Baptist, part of the magic of Peter, Simon Magus, and Dositheos, from the very roots of Christianity, prima facie.

I received the following email from a child of God who has been victimized by "soaking" in what she was told was the Holy Spirit. Perhaps, there are others of you who are being tormented after an experience with what you thought was the Holy Spirit; when in reality, you were taken captive by a demonic spirit(s)...

"Dear Geri: I remember going to some meetings where they believed in all of this that you have mentioned in your message on "soaking". I have experienced the shaking, tingling, electrical sensation going through my body, along with various other things that they said was the Holy Spirt, not realizing that it is the Kundalini spirit... Have you ever delivered anyone from this horrible spirit and is it hard?

I have the cold sensations over my head, tingling, electrical sensations going through my body, I can feel a serpent like movement all over my back, I have this shaking when I pray, I feel movement over my head, genitals, legs, etc, the list goes on and on.

You may share my testimony because I have struggled with this for many years and no one has been able to help me. I have done some research on this spirit, and what I have found is the very same thing that you have told me. I just recently visited a church where they brought back the impartation of TODD BENTLEY and passed it on to some people including me, not knowing what I was getting into. All of these manifestations are present at his services as well. I can feel it in my chest, on my back and it is a horrible crawling serpent sensation..."

(2) "I WAS DELIVERED" - 'Revival-Fire'

I have a recent testimony of deliverance that may be helpful to some people.

In 2003 I ended up in a Toronto Blessing type meeting, I was a youthworker for a Christian organisation at the time. I had some spiritual experiences during this season at the Toronto type church. Something was transferred to me during this time. How do I know?

During this season God had begun to work in the lives of the young people I had been ministering to... After my Toronto meetings, when I now shared at the youth groups spiritual phenomena began to take place. Laughter broke out, some felt drunk, others would feel like slumpling on the floor when I prayed. At the time I didn't understand it, some of it concerned me, but I didn't want to quench it if it was God. One thing that did concern me was that one of the young people who got 'drunkenness' for a couple of days, wasn't even saved.

Anyway, I've always had a love for the word of God, good doctrine and truth. Some of the things in the Toronto stuff never sat right with me. I did think there where some new age influences. I did relax on the manifestations though and I have laughed, shook, jerked and 'whoooooaaaaahhhhhed' with the best of them. Since that point I was a defender of 'Toronto'.

When Lakeland kicked off I was hopeful, however having graduated from theological college, I was now more 'skeptical' about healing ministries. Don't get me wrong. I believe in healing, however mass hype and hysteria and unsubstantiated claims caused me to be wary. I began to research Lakeland, Bentley, etc... As I read the articles, etc, I began to become more and more convinced that I had allowed myself to come under a false spiritual environment.

Having had hands laid on me by many Toronto people I began to wonder about impartation and what I had received. One day while out in the town some American Indians where doing some of their Native Music on the streets. I stopped to listen and as I listened I began to feel movement in my gut. The movement I felt was very similar to what I would feel during times of 'praise and worship'. I thought to myself, Why is my spirit being moved (in an enjoyable way) by this pagan music? At this point I began to wonder about what sort of spirits I had opened myself up to.

Anyway, the 'new mystics' meeting that I ended up at last week (I didn't know that is who they were) caused me to still feel that something wasn't right. Although my eyes had been opened to the deception, I still felt there was still a spiritual tie. I say this because my 'sprit' would respond to what was happening in the meeting at times even though it was obviously chaotic. Also during worship some people came up while I was worshipping and prayed for me. Again I felt that this wasn't good.

The few days that followed this meeting where pretty awful emotionally. I felt drained, down and depressed. I then remembered that this is how I would often feel when I would come out of the Toronto meetings. In those days I would interpret this as God bringing negative stuff to the surface to deal with things. However as this began to happen again I began to doubt that this was the case. I also found it hard to pray and read the word.

Anyway, while in bed, a few nights later, my wife was led to begin to pray for me. As she was praying while laying hands on my stomach she saw 'a little black thing'. However she noticed that the little black thing was held tight and gripped by a fist. As she prayed it left. She did not tell me this until the morning.

After she had prayed I felt better, went to sleep and woke up the next day much lighter. She then told me what she had seen.

How I interpret it is like this: Through the laying on of hands and opening myself up to a deception the enemy had got access.

Recent events caused me to see the truth of the deception regarding the spirit at work, my eyes where opened but there was still a spiritual tie on the inside (probably due to transference).

The fact that it was held tight by a fist caused me to believe that the spirit had been 'bound' but that I had not been delivered. Perhaps this binding of the spirit is what has caused me to see the truth, however deliverance did not come until my wife prayed. Anyway, ever since this experience I have found that a lot of 'things' have 'lifted off me'.

(3) "A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE" - Debylynne

"'Revival-fire' - I found your post very interesting, especially when you talked about the "responses" you would feel and sense in yourself to things that you knew were not of God (ie. Indian music) and how similar they were to what you "felt" in response to "god" in these services. I have had the same experiences and it has really troubled me. Even when I was watching the clips about the Kundalini and I would "feel" myself begin to respond and "jerk" and "twitch" and shake and I would turn it off immediately because that rather "freaked me out". I have never been to Toronto, nor have I had "direct" contact with anyone that has been there - but I have watched the stuff on God TV and I have "laid hands" on the TV screen to "receive" and I thought it was ALL of God.

I have repented wholeheartedly, but I wonder if there is still something on the inside of me that needs stronger action taken against it. I have not had my husband pray for me concerning this, but I believe that I WILL..."

ANDREW RESPONDS: It is vital to understand that every Christian believer has God-given authority over their own "temple" so-to-speak. Yes - it is important to repent before God with true "godly sorrow" if you have opened yourself up to these spirits. But it is also vital to know that you can COMMAND these things to go in the name of Jesus Christ! I often talk about "RENOUNCING" things from the very depths of your being. It is not just with your 'mouth only'. You are rejecting and expelling these things with every part of you - spirit, soul and body - in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. And they WILL go!

The same applies to other areas of darkness in people's lives. If you suffer from depression or a bad temper or any other form of darkness that you can't seem to get rid of - COMMAND it gone from the very depths of your being in Jesus' name! I refer to these things as strongholds" rather than 'demons'. And I have seen people utterly delivered of things they thought were "ingrained" in them - just by deeply and forcefully COMMANDING them gone in the mighty name of Jesus. Try it! Don't delay. "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds" (2 Cor 10:4).

In what appears to be a sweeping phenomenon, Christian leaders are embracing practices and a new spirituality that borrows from Eastern mysticism and New Age philosophy. The changes are taking place worldwide and involve many of the most popular evangelical leaders including Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, Richard Foster, Tony Campolo, and Eugene Peterson.

In Rick Warren's Purpose-Driven Life, on Day Eleven, he encourages people to practice "breath prayers" by repeating words and phrases over and over in a mantra-style prayer, a practice used centuries ago by a group of mystical monks known as the Desert Fathers. This so-called "prayer" is identical to that found in Hindu yoga and Zen Buddhism.

Brian McLaren, leader of the emerging church movement has been caught with his hands in the contemplative cookie jar too by endorsing the back covers of some more-than-questionable books. One in particular, Reimagining Christianity by Alan Jones says that the doctrine of the Cross is a vile doctrine. Alan Jones is an interspiritualist and mystic in every sense of the words. Take a look at the Living Spiritual Teachers Project, of which Jones is involved. This group of about twenty includes Zen and Buddhist monks, New Agers and even Marianne Williamson and her Course in Miracles. The goal of this group is to integrate other world religious beliefs into Christianity. McLaren has also endorsed the back covers of Dave Fleming's The Seeker's Way and Tony Campolo's Speaking My Mind, both of which believe that Christianity is too limiting, and a union between other religions is necessary. In Speaking My Mind, Campolo states: "[M]ysticism [contemplative prayer] provides some hope for common ground between Christianity and Islam." (p.149)

Dan Kimball, author of The Emerging Church (with forewords by Rick Warren and Brian McLaren), encourages practices such as lectio divina, (p. 223) a form of mantra-style meditation and the use of labyrinths, maze-like structures. Historically and in most labyrinths today, a chanting prayer is used while walking the labyrinth with the purpose of connecting to God or what many call Divinity. According to most who promote labyrinths, it is not necessary to be a born-again Christian to reach this inner Divinity.

Bruce Wilkinson, author of Prayer of Jabez, does his part in bringing this new spirituality into Christendom by accepting universalist Robert Schuller's invitation to speak at the Robert Schuller Leadership Institute this past January. Bill Hybels, senior pastor of Willow Creek and Foursquare President Jack Hayford joined Wilkinson at this year's event. Incidentally, Hayford has no problem placing his name on the cover of Richard Foster's Streams of Living Water, in which Foster quotes universalist Thomas Kelly as saying all human beings have a Divine Center.

Zondervan Publishing hopped on the band wagon too. A couple years ago they formed a formal partnership with Youth Specialties, host of the National Pastor's Convention which brings in an array of New Age practices from labyrinths, contemplative prayer and yoga. Last year Rick Warren spoke immediately after the yoga workshop. This year Warren is incorporating into his Purpose-Driven Life youth ministry speakers from Youth Specialties and the pro-contemplative Group Publishing.

Ruth Haley Barton, formerly of Willow Creek and trained at the very contemplative Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation in Washington D.C., wrote Invitation to Solitude and Silence, and teaches contemplative prayer through her Transforming Center. Barton co-authored with John Ortberg Ordinary Day With Jesus, which clearly instructs readers in mystical prayer practices.

And as if that were not enough to show Ortberg's sympathies to this New Age spirituality, he will be speaking this year at the National Pastor's Convention where labyrinths, contemplative prayer exercises, and yoga workshops will take place. Do not think that the infiltration stops thereEugene Peterson, author of The Message, endorsed the back cover of Sue Monk Kidd's book, When the Heart Waits. Monk Kidd, once a conservative Baptist, began practicing contemplative prayer and has now become a major promoter of the practice and of feminine spirituality.When the Heart Waits clearly shows her descent into this belief system.What was Peterson thinking when he put his name on that book?

Christian magazines such as Christianity Today, Charisma, Youth Worker Journal and Discipleship Journal find nothing wrong with producing article after article written by those who promote this Buddhist-style New Age spirituality. Last October, Charisma magazine, carried an article called "Be Still and Know" in which contemplative prayer is described as a trance-like state of mind. According to Ray Yungen, author of A Time of Departing, this trance-like state is an altered-state of consciousness that the Bible warns about.

Others who have helped to propel contemplative spirituality include the late Henri Nouwen who said he was uncomfortable with those who said Jesus was the only way and Richard Foster who say we should "all enroll in the school of contemplative prayer" (Celebration of Discipline) but then warns us it could be so dangerous that prayers of protection should be said first (Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home).

In Brennan Manning's Abba's Child he tells readers that Dr. Beatrice Bruteau is a "trustworthy guide to contemplative consciousness." What many may not realize when they read Abba's Child is that Bruteau, founder of the School of Contemplation, believes that God is in every human being and that we can reach this Divinity through the conduit of contemplative prayer. According to Bruteau, "We have realized ourselves as the Self that says only IAM, with no predicate following, not 'I am a this' or 'I have that quality.' Only unlimited, absolute IAM." (A Song That Goes On Singing - Interview with B.B.)

Evangelicalism is being redefined, reimagined and reinvented, and while many of these evangelical leaders seem to be rallying behind this redefining, a growing number of Christian believers are beginning to take notice, and a legitimate concern mounts. Will evangelical leaders continue in the direction they are heading or will there be an about-face and a return to the simplicity and purity of the Christian faith? For the sake of the gospel, may that be the case.

Not long after our conversion, my wife and I sat down one day and talked about the ultimate spiritual deception described in the Bible--the great "falling away" of the church and the coming of Antichrist. We agreed that for someone like Antichrist to be credible in the world, he would need a majority of the people who call themselves Christians to believe that he was Christ. If he could get enough Christians--especially Christian leaders--to follow him, he could then discredit and marginalize those who oppose him. But to get people who call themselves Christians to believe that he was Christ he would first have to successfully redefine Christianity. To do that he would have to introduce non-Christian teachings and practices into the church, while at the same time make them appear Christian. His obvious goal would be to convert undiscerning and unsuspecting believers into a more eastern and mystical, New Age "Christianity." While invoking the name of "God" and "Christ" he would actually turn the Bible upside down--just as we had seen in A Course in Miracles and in our New Age teachings.

Christianity would become a more "positive" New Age "Christianity." This New Age Christianity would have "a form of godliness" but it would actually deny the true faith (1 Timothy 3:5). This New Age Christianity/New Spirituality would use Christian terminology but it would be under the spell of "another Jesus," "another spirit," and "another gospel" (2 Corinthians 11:4). This New Age/New Gospel/New Spirituality would be the ultimate counterfeit and the ultimate deception. It would be what the real Jesus warned his followers to watch out for.

The New Age/New Spirituality has continued to make great inroads into the church--particularly in the area of meditation and so-called "contemplative prayer." Despite grave warnings from many of us that came out of the New Age movement, the church remains extremely vulnerable to deceptive, supernatural experiences that appear to come from God.

We knew from our own New Age involvement that powerful, seemingly "meant to be" spiritual experiences had often been used to draw us closer into the New Age and its various spiritual practices, including meditation and contemplation. And we knew that the same seductive experiences which had led us into the New Age, continued within our meditations and contemplations. Because our spiritual experiences felt so good, we just assumed that what we were experiencing was coming from God. Our meditations and contemplations soon became the primary connecting force that gave us "the feeling" we were on the right track. These daily meditations and contemplations served to reinforce our emerging New Age beliefs, and had the effect of leading us deeper and deeper into the teachings of the New Age/New Spirituality.

For most of us in the New Age, meditation was an integral part of daily life. Because it was so relaxing and felt so good we had no idea that our meditations were opening us up to great deception. Looking back on it now, meditation was the major pipeline through which deceptive spirits impressed upon us their New Age thoughts and teachings. The spiritual "high" that often accompanied our meditations and contemplations seemed to corroborate our emerging New Age belief that we were all "one" because God was "in" everyone and everything. In fact, in my very first meditation I experienced a "mysterious sense of oneness" that I perceived to be my "divine connection" to that oneness. One of the daily lessons I contemplated from A Course in Miracles was "Let me remember I am one with God."Click here for source material and to continue reading ...

MANIFEST SONS OF GOD, THE YEAR OF JUBILEE AND FEAST OF TABERNACLES – THE AGE OF AQUARIUS DISGUISED?

The following is an extract from Constance Cumbey’s book, A Planned Deception, which can be downloaded in its entirety for free here: http://public.me.com/cumbey. The bold emphasis used in the article is my own.

Year of Jubilee? or Age of Aquarius Disguised?

“Rev. Ernest Ramsey, an associate pastor at Unity’s Kansas City’s Founder’s Church, Unity on the Plaza, is an enthusiastic follower of the Alice Bailey and Benjamin Creme teachings. In his Research Report #2, he tells of something he was led to by a spirit guide – what he terms “Neo-Pentecostalism.” An aberrant branch of Pentecostalism, this is more commonly known as the “Manifest Sons of God.” That movement is also referred to as “Sonship or “Overcomers.” Ramsey concludes based on even less evidence than I have personally collected that this is part of the New Age Movement.

Ramsey’s work for his organization, “Synthesis Fellowship” first came to my attention in early 1983. His major report, entitled “An Evolutionary Basis for the Reappearance of the Christ and his Executives, the Masters of Wisdom” was inspired by Benjamin Creme’s appearance and speech at Unity on the Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. Unity on the Plaza is the founder’s church of Unity School of Practical Christianity headquartered at Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Ernest Ramsey, a handsome and articulate spokesman for occult interests believes very much in the work of Alice Bailey’s “The Tibetan” and Benjamin Creme. In recent months he even made a trip to London to try and see “The Christ.” His report encompassed the works of several occult writers. He also attempted a synthesis of C.S. Lewis, whose work, at times, did appear to contain occult, syncretistic overtones. The most interesting section of Ramsey’s report dealing with “Neopentecostalism”, Ramsey spent a semester at one of the Neo-Pentecostal or Manifest Sons of God seminaries – in upstate New York “at a location surrounded by tall pine trees.” Already familiar with the Alice Bailey writings, he was amazed to see that there was a branch of Pentecostalism that embraced the same teachings – albeit using sometimes different terminology.

Like those seeking the “Age of Aquarius” these people too were seeking a “New Age.” Like the other New Agers, these people taught that “The Christ” was an anointing – not necessarily one man. They taught that Jesus was a pattern son who was to be a sign of something even greater to come – the “Manifestation of the Sons of God.” They too believed the earth was to be cleansed of evil. And chillingly like the other New Agers, they believed they were to be “God’s” instruments to do such cleansing. The New Agers believed they were gods. The Manifest Sons of God likewise taught that if one accepted their “new revelation” that they themselves would actually become Christ at the time of the unveiling or manifestation of the Sons of God. Ernest Ramsey believed the “Neo-Pentecostals” did not accept astrology in any way. This is obviously not true as some Manifest Sons of God teachers, such as David Ebaugh, obviously do accept it. However, Ernest Ramsey excitedly pointed out in his report that they had a teaching which indeed did parallel the Aquarian teaching of the Age of Aquarius – the Old Testament “Year of Jubilee paralleled the redistribution of the world’s wealth. The Feast of Tabernacles was the equivalent of the coming together of the world’s peoples and varied religions under one tent or tabernacle – the equivalent of the New Agers’ long-awaited “New World Religion.”

Ramsey said in his report that there were three major centers of the Manifest Sons of God or “Neo-Pentecostals.” Obviously there are more. But the three locations given by Ramsey were (1) recently deceased Bill Britton’s House of Prayer and associated networking churches headquartered in Springfield, Missouri; (2) Virginia Beach, Virginia; and (3) Upstate New York ‘on a mountain top at a location surrounded by tall pine trees.”

Obtaining some of Britton’s materials and other MSOG teachers as David Ebaugh and Royal Conquist. I discovered the following teachings which closely paralleled those of the New Age Movement:

1. Lucifer is not Satan2. Those who do not accept the “truths” of Sonship are to be eliminated or killed. That judgement is to encompass the entire world, but will start with the church!3. The Bible is not to be interpreted literally;4. The Christ is an office – not a man;5. The future coming of the “Year of Jubilee” which will see the redistribution of the world’s wealth.”6. The Garden of Eden never existed as a real place. It instead was a spiritual state from which men fell.7. A belief in the existence of auras and energies.8. Jesus is not returning in one body as he did the last time – but this time in many bodies, as the overcomers or Manifested Sons of God. We will be headed by one who will be our king – Jesus’ younger brother.9. We never leave this planet. “Heaven” is merely a spiritual state from which we fell which we may reattain by accepting the “New Truths” of Sonship.10.Those accepting the “truths” of Sonship are the generation who will not see death, or who will “loose the bonds of death.”

When I was recently in Kansas City, I asked for and received a meeting with Ernest Ramsey.

Kansas City friend who was also engagedin fighting apostasy and the New Age Movement, we asked him “what was the Virginia Beach, Virginia center?” His reply was “Rock Church.”

Rock Church and CBN have been closely allied for several years. John Gimenez is a frequent guest on the 700 Club both in the capacity of representing Rock Church and his new found interest in Hispanic American civil liberties and political advancement. Apparently conveniently timed to coincide with Robertson’s open presidential aspirations, John Gimenez has organized what appears to be a political caucus of Spanish American interests known as “NOAH.” His most recent appearance on this was just as this book has gone to press, November 8, 1985. Rock Church services are frequently shown on the CBN network.

In an angry February 2, 1981 letter addressed to a critic, Bill Britton claimed to be fellowshipping with the following: Bob Weiner (Maranatha Ministries); Charles Schmitt, Larry Tomyzak, John Gimenez” and many others in your area of the east coast who know my life and doctrine”

Additional Manifest Sons of God centers who are teaching some or all of the above include those of Earl Paulk in Atlanta, Georgia; Kelly Varner; Royal Conquist; Eldon Purvis’ New Beginnings Fellowship; and David Ebaugh. Some may be advancing these New Age style teachings innocently. Others such as David Ebaugh who has even defended Satan and denied Lucifer was Satan, and has used astrology, proudly stated that a New World Religion was coming, leave little doubt of overt New Age Movement knowledge of and influence in their work. Kelly Varner, who appears to have assumed Bill Britton’s mantle since Britton’s death in the summer of 1985, apparently supports David Ebaugh. The word from Varner’s office is that Ebaugh has a “deeper revelation” than some of the other MSOG ministries.

Whether there is direct networking or not, it is a fact that the “Year of Jubilee” teachings do show up in Robertson’s work in amazingly similar format to those used by Bill Britton and Synthesis Fellowship. On page 133 of his book in a discussion of what he calls “The Law of Use” Robertson says: “Notwithstanding the sneers of many in the banking community, it may be that God’s way will be the only one open to us – a year of jubilee to straighten out the mess.”

Are Christians under the law of the Year of Jubilee or any other Jewish law? Indeed, Galatians chapter 5 tells us an emphatic no with the added proviso that if we bring ourselves again under the Law we are “fallen from grace” For the sake of our future freedoms, Paul’s advice is the best advice. “Stand fast in the liberty whereby Christ has set you free.”

Alice Bailey Similarities

On pages 588-589 of Alice Bailey’s The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, a seven point program appears. This was designed to assure the world’s acceptance of their New Age “hierarchy” and “Christ.” Two of them read as follows:

2. . . .”the recognition that the long awaited kingdom of God is simply the appearance of soul-controlled men on earth in everyday life and at all stages of that control. . . .

3. From a recognition of this relationship, the fact of the spiritual Hierarchy can then be deduced and the normality of its existence emphasised. The fact will appear that the kingdom has always been present but has remained unrecognized . . .”

The acceptance of points two and three would lead, accordingly to Alice Bailey to acceptance of the “fact of the spiritual hierarchy.”

In 1982 Pat Robertson and co-author Bob Slosser released their book, The Secret Kingdom. According to the hard-cover edition flap, a major theme of it is:

“The kingdom of heaven exists now, here. Although it is spiritual and invisible, it governs the material and visible, says Robertson. It operates in a rather specified manner.”

And, on page 36 of The Secret Kingdom we read:

The problem of the world, and many Christians, has not been simply refusing to acknowledge the possibility of such a kingdom, but failing to perceive that it exists Right Now, not in some far-off time or far-off place called heaven. This is so strange because Jesus spent virtually all of His earthly ministry telling people that the kingdom of God had come and then explaining its workings.”

These full-moon presented “eight universal laws” are to help us tap into this “secret kingdom” or “heaven” which has been here “all along.” Robertson says this is “a world far truer than any civilization in history.”

In her The Destiny of the Nations Alice Bailey discussed what she called the role of the “White Magician.” “. . .all that serves to thin or tear away the veil between the the worlds wherein those who have no physical bodies live and move and work and the worlds of outer form is the work of the white magician.” (38) It sounds ominously close to the reasons advanced for Robertson’s “Secret Kingdom”:

“More than any time in my life, I knew that night that we must urgently seek a third choice. I knew we would have to reach into the invisible world that has been there all along, a world far truer than any civilization in history. We have wasted too much time, decades of delay and doubt. . . . The challenges of my contemporaries rang in my ears: Is there truly an invisible world of the spirit? Is it possible to draw help from that invisible world? Can there be a new world order? Yes.”

Both Lucis Trust writers and Gina Cerminara sometimes utilized different phraseology to express the all-important New Age concept of “Karma”. Sometimes they alternatively called it “The Law of Reciprocity.” (40) A very similar concept shockingly still was the fact that 1985 saw the 700 Club celebrate “International Forgiveness Week” – an old time Lucis Trust project! That was a sad week for those Christians aware of the nuances of the New Age Movement as they were forced to view the spectacle of Lucis Trust, Tara Center, and the 700 Club all celebrating International Forgiveness Week – all at the same time! (41)

Abolish Separation of Church & State – Why Not?

A major thrust of both the 700 Club and its related Freedom Councils have been to abolish separation between church and state. They have diligently worked to restore prayer in the public schools and Pat Robertson has even davanced an interpretation that our founding fathers never intended actual separation between church and state.

While on the surface, all of this may sound good to concerned Christians anxious over the rise of humanism and even outright occultism in our schools, they should know that prayer in our schools over 30 years of deconditioning from Judaeo-Christian principles can only result in syncrestic, apostate thinking in our children. Constitutionally, equal protection will demand equal time for a little Buddhist child wishing to lead the class in prayer, a Hindu child likewise, a Unity child, and even little Satanist children.

Presently, the teaching of occultism in our schools is technically illegal as it is illegally teaching a religion and using state facilities to “establish religion.” If equal access and prayer in the schools measures are enacted, it will ex post facto ratify the presently illegal actions of school administrators and others promoting occultism and syncretism while suppressing traditional Judaeo/Christian beliefs.

But, could there conceivably be other than Christian interests striving to abolish separation between Church and State? Yes! It is a Lucis Trust/occult priority of the highest order: (42)“The separation of church and state, now widely approved, is a dogma we have inherited from the days when religions dominated governments and fomented wars and when governments persecuted and crushed religions. In modern times this dogma has become one of the unthinkables much needed to be thought about. This separation of church and state seems reasonable to many because they fear churchianity in government. When Christianity supersedes churchianity, this fear will die . . ..” (page 96)

“Many leading church conservatives had accepted the separation of Church and State as good for the church, but such thought leaders as Djwhal Kuhl had spoken for its ending. An antagonistic hands-off restraint could not go on indefinitely in the face of new age world unity and cooperation.” (page 111)

Interestingly, a leader in the fight for prayer in the schools was New Age activist, Congressman Newt Gingrich of Georgia. He was frequently featured on the 700 club discussing these issues. Gingrich is active in the Congressional Clearinghouse for the Future, a New Age caucus within Congress. Mark Satin, author of New Age Politics rated him as having the best overall New Age voting record in Congress from the South – the only southern Congressman to score over 50% on those issues. Gingrich is also a backer of the Peace Academy – another issue considered vital to New Age goals. Gingrich and New Age leader Alvin Toffler jointly founded the Institute for Participatory Democracy – an institute promoting the “consensus process” again so dear to the hearts of New Age/globalist activists.

THE KINGDOM VISUALIZED? OR THE ARMAGEDDON scrïpt?

Dave Hunt and Tom McMahon capably express the dangers of visualization. It becomes, particularly when used to manipulate external events, what the Bible calls “sorcery.” Astonishingly, Pat Robertson with co-writers Bob Slosser and Leslie H. Stobbe tell us the Kingdom of God, I.E. heaven, will not materalize unless we do just that!

“Ever wonder what it would be like if the kingdom of God were realized on earth beginning today? How would you recognize it? Would you feel comfortable in it? Or do you suspect your life would have to change significantly? . . . “In The Secret Kingdom Pat Robertson and Bob Slosser let us peek into the invisible kingdom of God as portrayed in the Bible. And they show that if it is to be implemented on earth now, you and I will need to be involved in its visualization. Our obedience to God’s Word will determine how much of it will be implemented in our communities, our nation, and our world.” (43)

I know of no scrïptural requirement that our visualization is necessary to fulfill Jesus’ prayer “Thy Kingdom Come.” His Kingdom will come with or without our visualization. But it could well be that our visualization – deliberate disobedience of God’s prohibition against sorcery – could prevent us from entering that Kingdom! … “

CHRISTIAN SUSPENSE NOVEL, THE CHURCH OF JEZEBEL, HIJACKING THE GOSPEL -- A FAST-PACED, BOLD WORK ADDRESSING THE STATE OF CHURCHES AND DOCTRINE

Contact: Derik R. Girdwood, 586-783-8095

MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 13, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Derik R. Girdwood's The Church of Jezebel, Hijacking the Gospel is a Christian fiction novel depicting the dark side of some churches-hidden beneath a thrilling mystery novel. The purpose of this work, other than to superbly entertain, is to unveil popular false doctrines and misguided faith. The revised edition, published November, 2010 is 244 pages.

The Church of Jezebel weaves a fictional mystery amidst the concepts of the Christian faith, and not only exposes false doctrines and misguided faith, but also enlightens readers through scrïptures from the Bible. The main character of the story is Christina, an eighteen-year-old who is excited about being admitted to Bible college. Although she is easily awed by the power of the dynamic speeches and doctrinal messages, there is unmistakably a sense of foreboding from the beginning of the book.

Christina's roommate, Becky, is dating the pastor's son and becomes pregnant. A few weeks later the college announces that Becky committed suicide. However, a no-nonsense detective informs Christina that Becky was murdered and that Christina is a suspect in Becky's brutal death. Christina's journey is fraught with twists and turns but she eventually succumbs to the Jezebel spirit only to find that it almost destroys her.

The antagonistic figures in this novel are Pastor Smith, who is only concerned about bringing a cash flow-at all costs-into the church, and the church prophet, whose private lectures are more sinister and spine chilling than they are Christian.

The suspenseful novel moves towards a missions trip to Haiti where everything is not what it seems and concludes in an ultimate confrontation that reaches to the highest levels of this mega-church.

MANIFEST SONS OF GOD, THE YEAR OF JUBILEE AND FEAST OF TABERNACLES – THE AGE OF AQUARIUS DISGUISED?

The following is an extract from Constance Cumbey’s book, A Planned Deception, which can be downloaded in its entirety for free here: http://public.me.com/cumbey. The bold emphasis used in the article is my own.

Year of Jubilee? or Age of Aquarius Disguised?

“Rev. Ernest Ramsey, an associate pastor at Unity’s Kansas City’s Founder’s Church, Unity on the Plaza, is an enthusiastic follower of the Alice Bailey and Benjamin Creme teachings. In his Research Report #2, he tells of something he was led to by a spirit guide – what he terms “Neo-Pentecostalism.” An aberrant branch of Pentecostalism, this is more commonly known as the “Manifest Sons of God.” That movement is also referred to as “Sonship or “Overcomers.” Ramsey concludes based on even less evidence than I have personally collected that this is part of the New Age Movement.

Ramsey’s work for his organization, “Synthesis Fellowship” first came to my attention in early 1983. His major report, entitled “An Evolutionary Basis for the Reappearance of the Christ and his Executives, the Masters of Wisdom” was inspired by Benjamin Creme’s appearance and speech at Unity on the Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. Unity on the Plaza is the founder’s church of Unity School of Practical Christianity headquartered at Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Ernest Ramsey, a handsome and articulate spokesman for occult interests believes very much in the work of Alice Bailey’s “The Tibetan” and Benjamin Creme. In recent months he even made a trip to London to try and see “The Christ.” His report encompassed the works of several occult writers. He also attempted a synthesis of C.S.

Robert Schuller once said: "Standing before a crowd of devout Muslims with the Grand Mufti, I know that we're all doing God's work together. Standing on the edge of a new millennium, we're laboring hand in hand to repair the breach." He made that statement in his 2001 biography, My Journey (p. 501), and today he has taken a giant step forward in seeing his dream of an all all-inclusive spiritual body come true. What's more, Christian leaders and organizations are helping to bring it to pass.

This past weekend, the Rethink Conference at Schuller's Crystal Cathedral began. This three day event was hosted by Schuller and popular emerging futurist Erwin McManus.

In addition to McManus, the Rethink Conference has several other Christian leaders speaking: Gary Smalley, Henry Cloud, Chuck Colson, and Kay Warren, to name a few. While the speaker list includes several names outside the Christian camp (Larry King, George Bush Sr., Rupert Murdoch, etc.), a majority of the speakers, both Christian and non-Christian, are proponents mystical spirituality. The reason this is important to know is because Schuller's vision of an all-inclusive global religious body cannot happen without mysticism. It is in fact the vehicle through which Schuller's dream will occur. He discloses a little more of this vision in his book:

I met once more with the Grand Mufti (a Muslim), truly one of the great Christ-honoring leaders of faith. ... I'm dreaming a bold impossible dream: that positive-thinking believers in God will rise above the illusions that our sectarian religions have imposed on the world, and that leaders of the major faiths will rise above doctrinal idiosyncrasies, choosing not to focus on disagreements, but rather to transcend divisive dogmas to work together to bring peace and prosperity and hope to the world. (p. 502).

In order for this "bold impossible dream" to occur, change agents such as Schuller and McManus realize that Christianity needs to be redefined. Thus, the term rethink. McManus has believed this for some time. In an interview, he stated:

My goal is to destroy Christianity as a world religion and be a recatalyst for the movement of Jesus Christ.... Some people are upset with me because it sounds like I'm anti-Christian. I think they might be right!(1)

It's easier to understand what McManus means by this by reading this next statement from him:

The Barbarian Way was, in some sense, trying to create a volatile fuel to get people to step out and act. It's pretty hard to get a whole group of people moving together as individuals who are stepping into a more mystical, faith-oriented, dynamic kind of experience with Christ. So, I think was my attempt to say, "Look, underneath what looks like invention, innovation and creativity is really a core mysticism that hears from God, and what is fueling this is something really ancient." That's what was really the core of The Barbarian Way. (from Relevant magazine)

To put this in plain terms, there is a three step process in making this new vision become a reality. First,reeducation: convince Christians that the Christianity of today has to be thrown out and replaced by a whole new way of thinking. Second, get these new thinking Christians to incorporate mysticism into their lives and hear the voice of a new kind of God, not one that is described in the Bible but one that is found through altered states of consciousness. McManus put it this way: "I build my life not on the Word of God, but the voice of God. The scriptures are to me the instrument that God has placed in history for me to learn the voice of God." (2) The voice of this mystical god will direct people to the final step of the process, and that will be to bring about a supposed kingdom of God where all will be one, and where man finally realizes his own divinity. Unfortunately, it will be a kingdom built, not on the truth of the Word of God, thus not on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The rethinking of Christianity is taking place right now before our very eyes. The mystical practices are now being implemented by countless people around the world, including huge numbers of professing Christians through the spiritual formation movement. It is just a matter of time before this new age dream will take effect, and a great spiritual delusion will overtake the masses.

Roger Oakland, author of Faith Undone (the hard-hitting expose on the emerging church), spent a day at the Crystal Cathedral listening to speakers share their hopes for the rethinking of Christianity. Oakland heard one popular evangelical speaker say that the emerging church is energizing Christianity.

What that evangelical leader may not realize is that this energizing is happening through mystical practices. One person who does understand this concept is Robert Schuller. Ray Yungen explains:

[W]hat many might not know about Schuller is his New Thought proclivities. Interspiritual scholar Marcus Bach once related the following incident that took place at a Unity church in Hawaii in which Bach was speaking:

Dr. Schuller attended the first of three services, this one at 7:30 am. When we shook hands at the door, he tarried to assure me how much Unity principles meant to him and how helpful they had been to him in his work. (The Unity Way, p. 267)

What could some of these Unity principles be? Bach explains:Hinduism's emphasis on meditation fit well into Unity's patterns for enlightenment.(Ibid, p. 104)

This is one of the major principles that Schuller was making reference to. In his own book, Prayer: My Soul's Adventure with God, he says:

Move into mighty moods of meditation. Draw energy from centers of sacred solitude, serenity, and silence.... Find yourself coming alive in the garden of prayer called meditation.... Yes, the "New Agers" have grabbed hold of meditation.... Hey, Christian! Hear me! Let's not give up the glorious, God-given gift of meditation by turning it over to those outside our faith. (pp. 141, 151)

The point that Schuller misses is that meditation is what makes a person a New Ager! This perspective is something to consider in light of the quarter million pastors who have trained and been mentored under Schuller at his Leadership Institute. (For Many Shall Come in My Name, ch. 3)

The line up at Rethink further confirms that Schuller and McManus see mysticism as playing a vital role in the rethinking and energizing of Christianity. Many of the speakers share McManus' and Schuller's propensity on mysticism's role in transforming the world.

Equally disturbing is knowing that CCN (Church Communication Network) sponsors and is helping to broadcast the Rethink Conference. CCN represents many of today's Christian leaders from Rick Warren, to James Dobson, to Joni Eareckson Tada, to Max Lucado and many many others.

What this means is that mainstream Christianity is going mystical, just as Alice Bailey, the woman who coined the term New Age, predicted so very many years ago. Yungen ties this all together:

"Bailey eagerly foretold of what she termed 'the regeneration of the churches' (Problems of Humanity, p. 152).

Her rationale for this was obvious: The Christian church in its many branches can serve as a St. John the Baptist, as a voice crying in the wilderness, and as a nucleus through which world illumination may be accomplished. (The Externalization of the Hierarchy, p. 510)

"In other words, instead of opposing Christianity, the occult would capture and blend itself with Christianity and then use it as its primary vehicle for spreading and instilling New Age consciousness! The various churches would still have their outer trappings of Christianity and still use much of the same lingo. If asked certain questions about traditional Christian doctrine, the same answers would be given. But it would all be on the outside; on the inside a contemplative spirituality would be drawing in those open to it.

"In wide segments of Christendom this has indeed already occurred.... Thomas Keating alone taught 31,000 people mystical prayer in one year. People are responding to this in large numbers because it has the external appearance of Christianity but in truth, is the diametric opposite---what a skillful spiritual delusion!"

CHRISTIAN LEADERS PUT POLITICS OVER SOULS SUPPORTING A 5th GENERATION HIGH PRIEST IN A SATANIC CULTContact: Rev. William Keller, 727-420-7005TAMPA, May 29, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Bill Keller, the world's leading Internet Evangelist and the founder of LivePrayer.com, with over 2.4 million subscribers worldwide reading the daily devotional he has written every morning for 13 years on the issues of the day from a Biblical worldview, says that most of today's Christian leaders are no different than the religious leaders who put Jesus to death as they put politics, wealth, and power over the eternal souls of men.

Keller said, "It is sickening to see these so-called 'Christian leaders' like Tony Perkins, Mark DeMoss, those at Liberty University, Jay Sekulow, James Dobson, and an endless stream of other high profile men and women of God supporting a 5th generation High Priest of a Satanic cult that leads souls to hell with 'another Gospel!' A first semester Bible college student knows that in spite of lying that they are Christians, what Mormon's believe makes them no more a Christian than a Muslim is. The problems in this nation are not political, they are spiritual, and supporting a high priest in a satanic cult that leads souls to hell for is no different than supporting a Satan worshipper."Keller went on, "Romney's Mormon cult has been gearing up for him to fulfill Mormon prophecy for several years now, and if he is elected President, it will give his cult the mainstream acceptance they have always desired even though their theology is 100% inconsistent with Biblical Christianity. With the better percentage of two full generations who have never even been to church, conservative estimates are that the Mormon cult will add 1 million new converts without Romney ever having to say word. The critical importance of that for a Christian is that the Bible teaches those who believe 'another Gospel' will die and their souls burn in hell for all eternity."

Keller continued, "I find it strange that people who denounced 'Christians' for voting for President Obama, and correctly so since he has proven to be the most pro-death, pro- homosexual, friend of the enemies of Israel, opposing God on every spiritual issue of the day, justify voting for a 5th generation high priest in a Satanic cult that will help lead untold numbers of souls to hell."

Keller recently launched a sister website,

www.votingforjesus.com, that encourages people to sign up and commit to write in the name of Jesus for President this November. Since its inception just 2 weeks ago, over 52,000 have signed up to vote write in JESUS for President this November. In an exclusive interview with the Christian Post, he said, "A Christian is faced with a difficult dilemma this November. It is literally Satan flipping a two-headed coin with his head on both sides. Let me remind people that the lesser of two evils is still evil."In a special YouTube video, Keller's believes that this is a real opportunity for Christians to take a stand for their faith while saying NO to Satan's choices by writing in the name of Jesus for President, making a statement to the nation that the problems we face aren't political, they are spiritual, and the only answer is to turn back to Jesus and Biblical Truth.About Live Prayer: In 1999 Bill Keller launched LivePrayer.com.

***TODAY I AM ADDRESSING A MAJOR STRONGHOLD IN THE CHURCH. THIS DEVOTIONALWILL EXPOSE ONE OF THE GREAT CULTS IN THE CHURCH AND WILL BE MET WITHTREMENDOUS HOSTILITY BY MANY. PRAY AS THE LIGHT OF TRUTH SHINES ON THEDARKNESS THAT IS THE CULT OF FREEMASONRY!

When this Devotional was originally aired, I was inundated with outragedMasons that I would have the audacity to call their secret society what itis, a CULT. I was prepared for the onslaught because I knew it has been avery deep stronghold IN THE CHURCH. Joe Smith, founder of the Mormon cultwas a Mason. He not only hijacked God's Word to write his blasphemous Bookof Mormon, but incorporated the secret rites of Freemasonry in his cult.All top leaders in the Mormon cult were Masons! That means Christian meninvolved in this cult are in a blood-oath relationship, an unholy alliancewith men in the Mormon cult.

The fact is, the ONLY oath we should ever take is to Jesus Christ. A toplevel Mason is called "worshipful master," when Jesus Christ is the ONLYMaster we are to worship. Lastly, Freemasonry operates in secret. Onlyevil operates in secrecy, in the darkness, while the things of God operatein the light. I am praying for those who have taken an oath to be part ofthis cult, this secret society, to leave immediately. As Jesus clearlystated, you CAN'T serve two masters!

Freemasonry IS a cult!!! The two people that God used to help shape myearly faith in the Lord besides my parents were my father's mom and dad.Grandpa and Grandma Keller were lifetime members of a little UnitedMethodist church outside of Columbus, Ohio. They never missed Sundayservice, Grandpa was an usher, Grandma sang in the choir, and they were atthe church for about every event that was held. As a young boy growing up,I spent two weeks every summer with them and their church was a big part ofmy time there. Grandpa Keller was also a Mason and Grandma Keller was amember of the Eastern Star. It is hard to imagine my dear, Godlygrandparents were cult members, but that is exactly what they were.

Freemasonry and Christianity are incompatible. While most see it as awonderful social, civic, and philanthropic organization, in reality it is asecret religious society. Tracing its origins back to the stone masons whobuilt Solomon's Temple, the modern day Masonic movement first appeared inGreat Britain in 1717, and was first seen in the United States inPhiladelphia in 1730. The terminology and symbolism of Masonry seems tocome mostly from the actual craft of stonemasonry during the Middle Ages.The "free" in Masonry probably came from the "freestones" (stones that couldbe cut without splitting) with which Mason's worked. Stonemasons had threeclassifications for workers practicing their craft: Apprentice, FellowCraft, and Master Mason. This is also the terminology used for the firstthree degrees in Masonry today.

Masonry is not based on the Bible (referred to as "The Great Light"), but onthe Kabala, the ultimate source of Masonic beliefs (Morals and Dogma), whichis a medieval book of mysticism and magic. Masons require one to believe inGod to be a member, but the candidate is never required to say what god hebelieves in. Masons commonly refer to their deity as the "Great Architectof the Universe" (G.A.O.T.U.) or the Supreme Being. The name of Christ isseldom referred to in Masonic literature, apparently due to Masons notwanting to offend their non-Christian members. Freemasonry does not believethat Jesus Christ is God, nor that salvation is available only through Him.The reality of sin in the Biblical sense is denied. Masons think that any"shortcomings" can be overcome by greater enlightenment. Because they denythe reality of sin, Masons see no need for salvation in the Biblical sense.They see salvation as a step-by-step enlightenment, which comes throughinitiation into the Masonic degrees and their mysteries.

Most Masons join Freemasonry to be part of what they view as a prestigious,socially influential organization. However,their society is based onmisrepresentations and false explanations. The symbolic physical penaltiesadvocated by the Freemasons are violent and murderous. No faithfulChristian can keep Freemason oaths, which endorse the death penalty foroneself and require members to persecute traitors to the organization.Oaths also obligate lodge members to protect lodge criminals and keep theirsecrets.The fact is, like in all cults, most involved in Freemasonry haveNO CLUE what they really believe in or the satanic roots of Freemasonry. Tothis day, I firmly believe my Grandfather saw it as nothing more than asocial organization, as did my Grandmother who was part of the Eastern Star,the women's organization of Freemasonry.

When was the last time you heard your pastor preach against this cult? Letme answer that, NEVER. A 1991 survey by the Southern Baptist ConventionSunday School Board found that 14% of SBC pastors and 18% of SBC deaconboard chairs were Masons; it is also estimated that SBC members comprise 37%of total U.S. lodge membership. A 2000 updated SBC report found that over1,000 SBC pastors are Masons. As you get into the more liberaldenominations, I am sure those percentages are even higher.

I love you and care about you so much. Satan is a master of deception andknows how to draw people into his traps of destruction. Nobody can everdeny the wonderful charitable causes the Masons (that includes the Shrinerswhich are 33rd degree Masons) are involved in. But the Mafia also giveslots of money to charity. There is a local strip club that raises hundredsof thousands of dollars every year for a children's hospital. Just becausean organization does some "good works," that does not make it anorganization that you should be a member of. Jesus Christ gave us theorganization to be part of that is to do good works, it is called THECHURCH!

Know that I am praying for you today. I have no doubt that many who arereading this message today are in the Masons or the Eastern Star. I wantyou to pray seriously today aboutLEAVING those organizations. Freemasonryis NOT of God, but is opposed to God. I already know that this messagetoday will cause some short term hardships to Liveprayer by those who willstop supporting this ministry because I have spoken out on this cult. Butmy job is to share the truth of God's Word with you each day and shine thelight on sin and expose deception. Man does not sustain this ministry eachmonth, God does, and I do not have to answer to any man, but one day standbefore God!

***Why do you think most have never heard this preached from the pulpit atyour church? Too many pastors make the choice to stay silent so they don'tupset some of their top givers, letting people blindly fall into a cult likeFreemasonry.

Jesus said that you can't serve two masters, you cannot serve God and alsobe a Mason. You need to make a choice today WHICH master you are goingto serve, the cult of Freemasonry or God.

In His love and service,Your friend and brother in Christ,Bill Keller

Chris Oyakhilome, a popular African preacher with questionablecredentials, is sparking international concern.

When I arrived in eastern Europe·a few days ago I learned thatRomanian Christians have quite a spiritual battle on their hands.Believers here struggled for years under communism. But nowthat they are free, they face an equally sinister struggle againstcults, New Age teachings and-worst of all-charlatans whoclaim to be powerful Christian prophets.

One of the most controversial figures in Romania today is ChrisOyakhilome, a Nigerian broadcaster and faith healer who lives inSouth Africa. Although this smooth-talking preacher has neverbeen to Romania, his influence has grown through his TV programsand books. Meanwhile, some gullible Romanian church leadershave visited his ministry base in Johannesburg and then returnedto impart his miracle power to their congregations.

But Oyakhilome´s "power" is questionable-and it is spreadingnot only in eastern Europe but in many other parts of the world,including the United States.

You may have never heard of Oyakhilome, but don´t be surprisedif his programs soon appear on a Christian television station nearyou. The founder of a movement called Christ Embassy, whichbegan in Lagos, Nigeria, Oyakhilome already has 16 churchesin the U.S., mostly attracting African immigrants in cities suchas Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. He has 39churches in the United Kingdom (where many Nigerians live) and18 in Canada, and his daily devotional books called Rhapsodyof Realities are supposedly available in 70 languages.

Why is he so controversial? Consider a few facts:

Nigerian Christians have long complained that Christ Embassy isa cult-mainly because members reportedly are forced to givemoney in offerings and are pressured to marry only within theirchurch. Oyakhilome was accused of engineering a money launderingscheme in Nigeria in 2010, and questions swirl around his financesbecause of his glamorous lifestyle.

Theologians and cult-monitoring groups have documented theirconcerns about Oyakhilome´s "New Creation" doctrine-a formof gnosticism that says after a person becomes a Christian, anysin they commit is only in the body and will not affect the spirit.Oyakhilome mixes this doctrine with a hybrid version of theAmerican prosperity gospel, claiming that God wants all peopleto be rich.

Oyakhilome´s reputation as a faith healer was tarnished badly in2008 in Johannesburg when a man told a Soweto newspaper thatChrist Embassy offered him more than $1,200 (U.S.) to sit in awheelchair and pretend to be crippled until Oyakhilome prayedfor him. The man went to the media instead of taking the money,sparking concerns that healings were being faked to impressgrowing crowds.

Perhaps most disturbing is Oyakhilome´s connection with T.B.Joshua, a Nigerian occult healer who leads a mysterious groupcalled The Synagogue, Church of All Nations. Joshua, who claimshis mother carried him in her womb for 15 months because hewas a special prophet, mixes Pentecostal fervor with paganspirituality. After coming under Joshua´s influence a few yearsago, Oyakhilome began copying some of his bizarre mannerisms.

When I came to Romania last week I was surprised to learn howmany Christians here had come under Oyakhilome´s influence.

But as I did further research I found that Oyakhilome´s popularityis growing far beyond eastern Europe. Thanks to YouTube,Internet TV channels and a public that is often biblically illiterate,Christians today are as vulnerable as ever to religious impostorsand deceptive con-artists.

Jude, the brother of Jesus, warned us 2,000 years ago about suchfalse prophets. "For certain persons have crept in unnoticed ...ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousnessand deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ" (Jude 4, NASB).Paul also warned that people will demand false teachers to fulfilltheir lusts, and that those teachers will "turn away their ears fromthe truth" (2 Tim. 4:3-4). Those ancient words are painfully relevant today.

Some Romanian church leaders have sounded an alarm. One ofthem, Ioan Peia, released a public warning in 2011 listing variousfalse doctrines promoted by Oyakhilome. Peia urged Romanianchurch leaders to "repent and ask God´s forgiveness, and ask theforgiveness of our brothers, because we allowed a part of theseteachings to be spread among us and through us."

I feel I must sound an alarm as well. As much as I want to seehealing miracles restored to the church today, I´m not willing tofling open the door to deception. THE DEVIL CAN FAKE MIRACLES, andif we don´t apply discernment in this vulnerable hour, impostorswill sneak into the church and unleash their doctrines-withdeadly results. Please don´t be duped by counterfeits.

"An extraordinary convergence of religious communities is occurring – a convergence that involves the evangelical Christian community and the Mormon Church; it is a convergence that has made possible evangelical support for the nomination of Mitt Romney for President on the Republican Party ticket – something that most would have thought impossible not more than twenty years ago ... It first manifested itself openly in the alliance that the Mormons struck with the evangelical community in the battle over Proposition 8 (the California Marriage Protection Act), a 2008 ballot initiative...."

In other words, since the Mormons rushed to the aid of the Evangelicals over this "Marriage Protection Act" Evangelicals are thinking much more kindly about this neo-pagan religion? Is that what this author is saying?

Yes, that is exactly what Shearer is saying. Listen as he continues:

"... evangelicals were extremely appreciative of the financial help that Mormons contributed to the effort - which in some cases involved channeling funds directly into evangelical political organizations. The magazine went on to say that ... 'advocates of Proposition 8 estimate that Mormons contributed at least half of the nearly $40 million raised for the ballot initiative'."

In other words, the incredibly wealthy Mormon Church bought their way into the hearts and minds of key evangelical leaders! The power of the purse is an incredible power.

"Since Proposition 8, the alliance between evangelicals and Mormons has grown and has gradually taken on an eschatological hue...."

This article then goes on to describe how Evangelicals are conveniently abandoning their Biblically correct views of eschatology so they can merge with the Mormon view. This revelation is incredible, but it does reveal how easy it is for the human mind to rationalize positions when the mind wants to achieve a particular goal.

"While there are, of course, many dissimilarities between the Mormon doctrine of "end times" and the doctrine of 'end times' that has today been popularized in the evangelical church ... there are also a great many very pointed similarities, and THESE SIMILARITIES ARE PROFOUND! Consider the following:

DVD

FIRST, as we suggested earlier, the importance of the United States in Mormon eschatology and what now passes for evangelical eschatology in countless churches throughout the country. Mormons believe that America, not Israel, is now God's Chosen Nation. They believe that Jesus will return to Independence, Missouri, to rule for 1,000 years.

But, since Evangelicals have re-created America's founding so that people believe that America's government was founded on Christianity, many Evangelicals equate America's founding in much the same religious light as do Mormons.

Thus, you can see the importance of the propaganda campaign which insists that American government was founded on Christian foundation, when only the American culture was founded on christianity. America's government We cover this fact very thoroughly in "The New Atlantis" DVD, pictured above.

The reality is that the Masonic Founding Fathers established the government on pagan, globalist Masonic ideals and goals. Our second DVD in the "Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings" -- "Riddles In Stone: The Secret Architecture of Washington, D.C.", series proves beyond doubt that this was the case. One symbol repeated twice in the street layout shouts that America's goal is to produce the Masonic Christ on the world scene.

SECOND, the belief that the U.S. Constitution is a GOD-ORDAINED document that is almost as important as the Bible.

THIRD, that the forces of "Secular-Humanism" - and most especially the "Gay Rights Movement" and Feminism - threaten to destroy the family, the country and Christian Civilization.

FOURTH, that the "Islamic Menace" likewise poses an ominous threat to Christian civilization, and must be confronted and destroyed.

FIFTH, that as a result of the twin threats posed by Islamic fundamentalism and "Secular-Humanism," the United States will pass (is passing) through a period of severe political, cultural and economic chaos which will only come to an end after "God's People" take control of the country."Therefore, Mormon leadership proved to be far wiser than Evangelical leaders. They poured in $20 million of support for the California marriage initative, knowing how important this issue was to Evangelical leaders.

They have now used this outpouring of thankfulness to complete a dramatic "Paradigm Shift" change in the attitudes and values of the Evangelical community.

Now, Evanglicals leaders are performing wild mind gyrations in order to create reasons they can support a Mormon for President!

Jesus is correct: the children of the unsaved world are far wiser to the ways of the world than are the children of light. Evangelicals should never, ever have gotten involved in politics. We have been deceived time and time again, since 1976, when Jerry Falwell convinced us to enter politics in a big way.

Now, Evangelicals are about to be deceived in an unprecedented way as they are about to support a practitioner of a pagan religion -- Mormonism -- for the highest office in the land.

America's judgment is drawing closer with each passing day and each event in which we act in disobedience to God's Word.

A look into the invasion of the old New Age Movement in today's Post Modern Church. Today's new brand of Christianity has a different gospel and is targeting thousands of the younger generation with a so-called hip, cool, experiential spirituality, much of which is embracing the mysticism of Roman Catholicism with its ecumenical philosophy of uniting people from all faiths to work together and bring about a new world of peace and harmony. This notion dovetails with the heart of New Age thinking and the utopian ideals of many world religions who all await their religious leaders and dreams of world domination.

The dangerous result of this new spirituality in the church is bringing about the rise of today's "Christianized" occultism. It's stretching its tentacles around the souls of unsuspecting youth, setting them up for the lie that subjective emotions of "power" and "experience" are "feelings" to be held higher than an objective walk in the Christian Faith, based in Truth found in the Pure Word of God. The Holy Bible is presented as unattainable truth: "stuffy", "dry" and "churchy"

Through modern marketing techniques and business management skills a global agenda of faith, commerce and government is being orchestrated for churches to partner with other faiths for world peace and unity. This man made utopia will usher in the reign of Antichrist and his kingdom, preceding the coming of the True Jesus Christ and the True Kingdom of God on earth.

3 hours 20 minutes of exciting revelation about the true direction of the Christian Church today, the church whom Jesus will spew out of His mouth!

In Volume 2 of 'Wide Is The Gate', Caryl Matrisciana specifically addresses many of the numerous areas in today's church in which Satan has infiltrated into the churches of today.

Now in stock.

Examples are:[*]Environmentalism, Global Warming and Mother Earth [*]Progressive Christianity - merging with Leftist Politics [*]Kingdom Now, Dominionism now in Mainline Christianity [*]Ecumenical Movement now uniting Evangelical Protestants and Roman Catholics to further the One World Religion [*]The Social Gospel, being promoted by Youth Outreach and Evangelicals [*]Chrislam, melding Islam with Christianity [*]Replacement of Israel by the Church; and many more When you understand the true apostate condition of today's 'christian' church, you will understand how Jesus can declare 'I will spew you out of My mouth"! And, you will understand the lateness of the prophetic hour.

PETER WAGNER SAYS, TODD BENTLEY is "THE PORTAL (STAR GATE) TO THE FUTURE (NEW AGE)." He also said that they are connecting heaven’s gate to earth! According to the Bible, God’s Kingdom has already come to the Earth. Jesus Christ is the Mediator that has already connected God’s Kingdom to the Earth and heaven, See Ephesians Chapter one. It is a power that is not Bentley’s, Wagner’s or Joyner’s to give.

We must not forget the group of mystical Christians operating in extra-biblical fashion to open the paranormal doors to heaven TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. It is a tremendously large army called Joel’s Army that is still on the move to conquer the church and millions of souls.

Terminology used: Apostolic Alignment, (Ministers under the authority of the New Age leaders such as, Peter Wagner, Rick Joyner, and others. Gatekeepers, (certain people appointed to control territories, churches, cities, countries).

Opening portals to the Third Heavens (Ministers that are able to lead people into the paranormal practice of taking them through the experience by means of the magical portal or Star Gate.

Think about it. We have Christian’s leaders who are "Opening the Star Gates in order to break God’s veil that separates the demonic, spiritual realms from our realm. Why-- to bring forth supernatural entities that they are calling angels and giving them names such as, the Winds of Change and to the Nations. Isn’t it strange that at the same time President Obama sells his socialist agenda on the word "change", so do these New Age Christians? Many real Bible-believing Christians are spiritually sleeping. They do not understand that these so-called "Christians" are mixing the Christianity with New Age witchcraft."

Third Wave teacher Todd Bentley says, SPIRITUAL ENTITIES & STAR GATES will CREATE SUPER HUMANS "OPEN HEAVENS BRING GOD’S KINGDOM TO EARTH" Then, as heaven manifests in the natural realm, both the rule and the reign of Jesus Christ will be known in the earth. "Let God be glorified!" Yet, don’t miss this: The key to bringing that manifestation to earth is an open heaven—a portal through which the kingdom of God invades the earth!14

See m my latest article concerning Todd Bentley’s article about "Opening the Star Gates to the Third Heaven."

Matthew 24:11 "And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people." Matthew 24:24 "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible."

II Thessalonians 2:9-12 "The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

Re: Beware of any man who claims to be wiser than the apostles or holier than the martyrs of the Early Church. The best way to deal with him is to rise and leave his presence!"You really need to go up on Wagner's page.... really is new age.... wow... unbelievable... working on something right now....

LTRP Note: Prior to posting this Letter to the Editor, we checked out the NAMI website and discovered the promotion of Yoga, Reiki, and many other New Age type meditation practices. This organization offers classes to many groups: teens, children, veterans, etc. Another example of how mysticism has become widespread and how even many Christians are not recognizing it.Hello Lighthouse Trails:

I always enjoy your articles and wanted to add that mysticism is indeed everywhere. I recently dropped out of a class [called Peer to Peer], which NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) offered, because a large part of the class centered on mindfulness, a Buddhist practice. I found there was no way that I could escape this, especially since half of the class claimed to be Christian, even one of the facilitators.

My antennae went up the moment I heard it mentioned in the first class- we did not do it in that class. It was a promise for ‘later’ and I researched it. I hoped that I could defer my way out but no, they make you participate whether you want to or not. This is a very ‘PC’ organization so I cannot decide if I am or am not surprised at this. I probably should not be.

Thank you for your wonderful articles. They are a light to help guide in this dark world. (Of course the real light being Jesus and the Bible!) I appreciate the work that discernment ministries are doing. Please know that I keep you all in prayer, as financial support is often not in my reach.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3,4

The Great Falling AwayThe scriptures say that in the end times, in the last days, there will be a great ‘falling away’ of believers from bedrock bible doctrine. The above quote from 2 Thessalonians clearly shows that as does this quote from Paul to Timothy:“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3,4

In the end, it is the Christians who no longer have a desire or hunger to be fed from the word of God, but instead choose to side with the devil and make a mockery of the church that Jesus Christ shed His own blood for. Nothing shows that as clearly as our story on the Harlem Shake in the Church of God.The Harlem Shake is demonicFrom The Examiner: Have you heard of the “Harlem Shake?” The dance has gone viral on the Internet, and Christians are doing it in several sectors, according to BCNN1, Feb. 21.

Citation:

The dance starts with the leader wearing a mask shaking in front of the people, and then they all join in for 30 seconds.

The words to the song are: “Con los terrorista” (With The Terrorists).There are several groups and organizations doing the “Harlem Shake:”

Saddleback High School Ministry

Liberty University

Destiny World Outreach Center

Vineyards Student Harlem Shake

City Church Downtown

Celebration Church Jacksonville FL

Run away, run far awayI know this article will burn up some of our fan base, but let me be very honest with you. Now The End Begins was created by direct commission from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself to be a watchman in these last days. We are to sound the alarm when the Enemy appears on the radar screen. So let us get right to the point:If you belong to or attend a Christian church that encourages demon-inspired ‘dancing’ to the Harlem Shake, you are in church with the Devil Himself. The Holy God of Israel is a million miles away from all of that foolishness. The ‘shake’ is performed with a masked man inciting a crowd to gyrate their bodies by unseen forces to jungle-themed music. Bright lights flash, artificial smoke is set off and an hypnotic, ever-lowering bass beat causes the dancers to bang their heads. Are you so seared in your spirit by the filth you have surrounded yourself with that you can no longer recognize the Devil when he is laughing in your face??VIDEO : (Link down below)

If you think that this is the work of the Holy Spirit, then you do not know the Holy Spirit, neither are you led by Him. To see this in the Church of God is, to me, proof positive that the great falling away is operating on all eight cylinders. The Harlem Shake comes from drug-using, heavy-drinking, fornication-glorifying rappers whose garbage has NO PLACE in the Church of Jesus Christ.If you do this in your church, you need to REPENT immediately and beg God for desecrating His House of worship. Return to your first Love, and remember what it was like when the shed blood of Jesus made you clean and new. Get back to a DOCTRINAL study of God’s word from the King James Bible, and get back on your knees in fervent prayer.If this is happening in your church, leaveSatan desires to sift you and grind your papier-mache faith into a fine, dusty powder. Christian, you are UNDER ATTACK, and are losing the battle. Do you really want to be found gyrating to the Harlem Shake when Jesus Christ returns? Really?Are you so deluded by the world, the flesh and the Devil that you think the Harlem Shake and David dancing before the Lord are the same thing?Think about it.http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=13218

EMERGENT CHURCH MEMBERS GET TATTOOS OF JESUS' DEATH FOR LENT"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord." Levitic 19:28

(Photo: courtesy Chris Seay)Pastor Chris Seay of the Ecclesia community at Montrose Church in Houston, Texas.While many churches do different things to observe the season of Lent, one pastor at a Texas church is encouraging something very different: permanent tattoos.Chris Seay, a pastor at the Ecclesia Church in Houston, Texas, called on members to get permanent tattoos that would depict designs symbolizing the crucifixion and death of Jesus. The tattoos by church members will collective be part of an art exhibit for Lent, Stations on Skin.

"This art show is something we do every year to share the story of Jesus with our city," said Seay in an interview with The Christian Post.

"This year we wanted to engage an art form that has not been embraced by the church but it is common among people in our part of the city. Next year it will be a different art form, maybe crochet."

Seay, whose church has an average weekly attendance of around 1,500 people over five weekend services, said that initially he and Ecclesia's artist-in-residence Scott Erickson were looking for ten volunteers to depict ten scenes as tattoos.

"I have seen about 50 [volunteers] so far. I spend most of my time discouraging people from getting these," said Seay.

"We are only featuring ten stations and this is designed for those who already have tattoos or have been looking for a meaningful tattoo to symbolize their faith."

According to Leviticus 19:28, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord."

When asked how he and his fellow parishioners reconcile this verse with their planned art exhibit, Seay told CP that the context of the verse is important, noting that verse 27 states that a man should not cut the hair on the sides of his head or the edge of his beard.

"The problem was not with tattoos, but with the fact that getting a tattoo or cutting your hair/beard was a symbol that identified you with the worship of pagan gods," said Seay.

"Tattoos do not carry any of that meaning in our culture and that is why we go to the barber shop and some chose to express their story with art on their skin."

As Ecclesia members get their passion-themed tattoos during Lent, other Houston churches have divergent views on the expression of faith Ecclesia worshippers are choosing.

Pastor Evan McClanahan of First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Houston told CP that while he likes how emergent churches like Ecclesia tries "to make Christianity a culturally relevant reality in our communities," he has issues with their methods.

"I also think of Jesus words in Matthew 6, where he tells us to fast, pray and give alms in secret so as not to be seen by others. I worry that the Church has allowed a desire to be cool to overshadow the proclamation of the Gospel and to declare what has been handed town to us," said McClanahan.

"Consider me a fuddy duddy, but I worry that endless self-expression as depicted in modern art and now in the church does not increase discipleship, but allows us to put our own spin on it."

The Very Reverend Joe D. Reynolds, Dean of Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral in Houston, however, told CP that he thought it is a "terrific" idea that reaches out to people.

"It clearly touches people and is a place of connection between their faith and the real places where they live their lives. I can't imagine labeling that as anything other than a good thing," said Reynolds.

"I would not consider a similar program at the Cathedral. We are not an emergent church, and it just wouldn't be of interest to the people here."

In addition to the tattoo exhibit, Ecclesia also celebrates Lent by eating simpler meals as a means of solidarity with the poor.

According to Joel Osteen – Pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, these first century apostles are wrong and outdated and he has come out boldly to infer indirectly that Apostles Paul, Peter, and John whom wrote much of the New Testament were wrong and need to be corrected and rebuked.

When asked directly if people whom are openly practicing homosexuals are accepted into the Kingdom, Joel Osteen responded with “Absolutely, anybody is.”

We all need to listen carefully to the words that this “man of God” speaks as he goes on interviews so we too can find the errors in the preaching of the first century apostles.

Joel does acknowledge that some things are “sin” but says, “I don’t address these things from the pulpit. They only come up in interviews.” When asked if openly practicing gay/homosexual people will be accepted into heaven, Joel Osteen responded, “I believe they will.”He makes no mention of the need for repentance.

Joel Osteen Brings Us Universalism

The doctrine of universalism is the belief that all people are “saved” no matter who you are or what you’ve done.

This is a new version of the “good news” that is MUCH BETTER than the message the Jesus and the Apostles preached 2,ooo years ago which was far too narrow according to the way Joel Osteen explains his “message.”

“I’m for everybody” says Joel Osteen, “I’m not into excluding people. Jesus can reveal himself to anybody.”

The idea is that since no one would be accepted if we are called to be “holy” then all have to be accepted. So goes this logic. This doctrine also believes that all roads lead to heaven so there is no one “way, truth, and life that leads to the father.”

According to Joel, “sin means to miss the mark” which, while technically correct, stands in contrast to the teachings of many writers of the Bible that teach that sin is violation of God’s Holy Laws so if by missing the mark Joel means violating God’s ways, then yes, sin is missing the mark.

According to the out of date writers of the Bible, the “wages of sin is death” for which blood is required and for which a sacrifice was presented.

It sounds a lot more harsh to say SIN is TREASON punishable by death than to say it is “missing the mark” which is a bit incomplete. Sin is also “to incur guilt, incur penalty” which according to the scripture is death.

Citation:

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

When asked about people who live in open sin, Joel smilingly said, “I’m not going to bash those people. I’m not going to be against those people. They’re good people.”

So by contrast, Apostle Jude is “bashing people” when he said:

Citation:

Jude 1:14-16 “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.”

Joel’s wife recently said to Piers Morgan. “It’s the people that we’re after. We’re not trying to judge their sin. We want to encourage them and love them. You’re only going to win people by reaching out to them.”

Isn’t that so awesome! They are all about the people! They want you and I be accepted without having to discuss anything like repentance or righteousness. These are “judgmental” subjects that we just don’t need.

These modern day ministry giants have gone on national television to essentially correct Apostles Peter, John, and Paul to say … they are wrong … if you listen to Joel Osteen. So many across the nation are so proud of this Pastor and his courage in confronting the church fathers!

According to Joel Osteen, Apostle Paul erroneously stated to the Corinthians …

In saying this, according to Joel Osteen, Apostle Paul is being “exclusionary” and should be rebuked and corrected. He is obviously wrong and should never have said these things to the Corinthian church.

Corinth was known for its sexual openness and promiscuity so for Paul to “condemn” all these “good people” was completely out of order and he needs to be rebuked.When Paul wrote to the Romans he also was in complete error in stating the following in the first chapter of his letter, according to Joel Osteen.

Citation:

“And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”

According to Joel Osteen, Paul was absolutely incorrect and to state that being a homosexual is a sin is being “judgmental” and should not be tolerated. It is just wrong according to Joel Osteen. Many people agree with Joel Osteen today and so, Apostle Paul is apparently misguided and incorrect in his letter.

Joel goes on to point out the additional errors in the words Apostle Paul wrote.

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Paul went on to write in the first chapter of Romans, which according to the words of Joel Osteen, he is deeply misguided and mistaken.

Apostle Paul should repent for saying such things according to Joel Osteen. A growing number of people in America agree with Joel that Apostle Paul should be rebuked for ever saying such things because Paul isn’t accepting of people like Joel Osteen is.

Equally misguided and incorrect according to Joel Osteen is Paul’s words to the Galatian church. In his writings, Apostle Paul made stunning comments that were clearly exclusionary statements concerning the Kingdom and those whom are accepted, and in so doing has made grave error according to Joel Osteen.

See if you can detect the absolutely false statements that Apostle Paul made to the Galatian church according to the stated doctrine of Joel Osteen.

Citation:

Galatians 5:19-21 “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.“

You can clearly see what has Joel Osteen so unhappy that he’s gone on national television to correct this! It is this type of rhetoric, according to Joel Osteen, that is completely false and misrepresents the God he serves.

Joel Osteen’s God loves everybody and there are no exclusions because then, according to Joel, “none of us would be saved.” So again, Apostle Paul was completely incorrect and should never have written such harsh and insensitive words to the Galatian church according to Joel.

I imagine Joel Osteen would say “shame on Apostle Paul for ever writing such hateful words!”

Now, not only is Joel out to correct the misguided Apostle Paul, but Apostle Peter was also brought into serious question for clearly being exclusionary when he wrote these words.

Citation:

1 Peter 1:14-16 “As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”

According to the doctrine Joel Osteen has now shared with us all as “his message,” being clearly more evolved and enlightened than the archaic Apostle Peter, no one can be holy. We are left to conclude that Peter is misguided and is being judgmental. What a terrible yoke and condemnation Apostle Peter is trying to put on the good people he is writing to.Additionally, Apostle Peter goes on to say things that are completely against the Lakewood Church Pastor’s God when he stated the following.

Citation:

2 Peter 2:6-8 “And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)”

According to Joel Osteen’s public comments, one could conclude that Apostle Peter was in complete error and deceived when he wrote such things. What a terrible condemnation. He clearly did not know the doctrine that Joel Osteen preaches or he would never have said such awful and critical things.

Joel Osteen indirectly implies (subtly) that these apostles were false and were critical and judgmental and should NOT be listened to in America today. We all need to listen instead to Joel Osteen and Oprah Winfrey.

Now Apostle John made even greater errors if the benchmark is Joel Osteen’s “message” when he stated some of the thing that he wrote which, according to Joel Osteen, is just plain and simply not true.

It takes a lot of courage for Joel to stand against these writings but he believes strongly in his “uplifting and encouraging” doctrine that does not endorse such harsh and judgmental statements as written by these ancient Apostles.

We should all pray for Joel Osteen because he needs our prayers if he’s going to continue to champion the cause of those oppressed and condemned by the writings and statements of Apostles like Paul, Peter and John.

Citation:

Revelation 21:8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

You see, according to Joel Osteen in a recent interview, “God doesn’t see any sin as worse than another” and all are going to heaven. Apparently in Joel Osteen’s bible, he has redacted the unpardonable sin. So if you’re a follower of Joel Osteen’s then this statement by Apostle John must seem just plain wrong.

Apostle John doesn’t know what he’s talking about and we need to listen to the wisdom of Joel Osteen. Apostle John clearly was in error and should be rebuked for suggesting that people who tell lies are going to have their part in the lake of fire.

What was Apostle John thinking writing such judgmental things???

That’s a terrible thing to say and no one, certainly not Apostle John, should be allowed to say such things. As Joel says, “there’s enough condemnation in the world” and we don’t need anymore.

Additionally, in his letter, Apostle John says things like …

Citation:

1 John 3:8-10 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.”

Now according to Joel Osteen and the thousands that agree with his “message,” this entire passage should be removed from the pages of the bible and no one should be saying such things. In fact, Joel goes on to share that it is this exact kind of preaching that will hinder “church growth.”

Now listen, Joel Osteen and his ministry in Houston are all about people. He is standing up for your rights! He is taking a REALLY BIG RISK because … if he’s wrong, and Apostle Paul is right … then he stands to be cursed! So he needs your support in prayer NOW!

Citation:

Galatians 1:9 “As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”

Instead, you all need to listen to his message of universal acceptance and lawless living without any condemnation so we can all “lift our spirits” and be “encouraging and loving” to all people no matter what lifestyle or choices they make. After all, according to Joel, God loves us all and everyone is going to heaven so lighten up!

There is no exclusive path to the Kingdom. According to Joel Osteen, we need to hear this message because it’s the right message and anyone that says that there is an exclusive path to God is wrong.

Joel would know, look at the size of his church! He is clearly telling you the truth more than anyone in history.

Citation:

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

To his credit, in this interview Joel does call out sin, however, he softens it and backs away from talking about repentance … and when he is asked “what would you say” his comment is that he doesn’t understand. You’re leading the largest church in America and you don’t understand REPENTANCE?

The quotes are taken right from what Joel himself has spoken. He positions himself on his own without being told how to answer. On the one hand he wants to appease his Christian followers by saying “the bible says” but on the other he clearly fellowships with darkness and facilitates those whom deny the power thereof.

2 Timothy 3:1-7 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Startling similarities between the occult and the Toronto "Blessing"/Brownsville, Pensacola manifestations. Here are some alternate articles on the same subject with text taken directly from the Kundalini page on the web.
